I bit on the Funko Garbage Pail Kids earlier in the year.

Now I'm trying to resist the new Game of Thrones 3.75" figures.

FWIW, I know we like a lot of the same stuff, and I haven't had any regrets about picking up those Thrones figures. They are extremely well done for $10 IMHO.

Funko stuff doesn't usually go more than 2-3 waves tops too, so it' not likely to be a major ongoing commitment on your part. (If that's a consideration at all)

Then we get to the Chris/Travis storyline and it all goes to hell.  Someone needs to put a bullet in Chris and probably Travis shortly after.  All I could think of when he shot the farmer was "Holy **** Morty!  You purged!"  He's a complete sociopath at this point...have him look at the flowers already!  Travis is only alive by pure dumb luck.  He was right about trying to leave the farm and not harming the fater...but he won't stand up to his son and get away from the glaringly obvious **** strom that is the frat boy zombie apocalypse gang!  None of those idiots deserve to survive at this point.

Plus Travis was idiotic to ever come out of hiding when those guys first found them anyway. Try pulling that **** down in GA and those guys would be raping you or eating you or both before you could whistle Dixie.

"We're not going to kill you over a can of beans! We just wanted to follow you for a few hundred miles and say hi"

I was really disappointed when I realized that Walker in the bar wasn't Madison.

Ophilia must be some kind of secret Ninja badass to have gotten out of there without being eaten or spotted by anyone.

Dang, I just downloaded that app but it's showing as "Out of Stock" now.  :(

Rogue One / Re: Rogue One 3.75" Deluxe 2-Packs

The Maul 2-pack looks incredible, for sure. They nailed both those characters. I'm not sure I like how they interpreted his giant explosive backpack though. The one I recall from the episode was more non-existy.  :D

I bought a Kanan/Cadet Ezra 2-pack for $5 off Hasbros eBay store during their blowout sale yesterday. I miss buying Rebels toys. It's fun.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - Rogue One Wave 2

I just don't see how a spare gold arm could cost more to pack in than a blaster, removable helmet, and alternate set of hands. (Poe) The amount of plastic, tooling, paint etc is certainly comparable.

Of course I realize the answer is so they can sell me the same figure again later, but thats weak.

Rogue One / Re: Rogue One Class I Vehicle Sets
« on: September 3, 2016, 11:05 AM »
Knew this was coming but still excited to see it in print!

I just wish they would make some cargo containers you could tow behind it like the show. Kinda wish they had tweaked the driver sculpt a little bit too, but those are small quibbles.

I'll get at least 2-3 of these for sure.

Still need to make the regular Rebels TIE, along with the Ghost that is the most glaring vehicle omission to date.

Some people seem to think it will go lower than that even, but I don't know...70% off is as low as a lot of items there ever get. I am definitely getting at least one when they hit $50 here.

Both those figures look great, although I'm wondering if Krennic's cape is molded like Phasma's or soft goods.

Hmmm, so who might Jim Broadbent be playing next season?  ???

Aw man, I need this too. Love the colors!

As a parent I cannot imagine dropping that kind of cash on something like this at Christmas. Not even as a collector really. I wish them luck, but this seems like a classic boondoggle from the get-go.

The Black Series 3.75" / Re: Walmart Black Series 3.75" Wave 5

Interesting choices. There isn't much secondary market heat for Ackbar, that's for sure. Really glad to see the ERG, never got a whiff of that guy. Agree Lando could have been replaced by someone better.

Ahsoka I find curious, unless she has some kind of surprise cameo in Rogue 1. ( :-X)  Her Rebels figure is still readily available on most pegs. I do think the TVC carded version will retain its value, just not the loose ones. I hope so anyway, I got 2 kids to put through college one day.  :P

I picked up the Aliens Ripley/Queen/Powerloader set from Kokomo Toys tonight for $25 shipped. Haven't seen this in any stores yet and according to Super 7 the MSRP on this thing is $30, so this seemed like a good deal.

Happy hunting!  :)

Got this over the weekend but the front corner of the box was all crushed. 2nd damaged item I got in as many days. :(

I just saw TRU has added this item to their website though, so hopefully I can find a nice minty one in store someday. I am dying to open this thing but I need at least one MISB.
